Selfish? Totally.
I have one boy. He’s the most special of all special boys and handsome as can be. But he’s autistic.
....
All the incidentals and help my friends have, I do not.
All the typical milestones my friends get to enjoy and show off, I do not.
Before I met my husband, I dreamt of a life similar to that of Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City. I know — it’s nauseating for me, too — but that’s the time I grew up in.
I wanted to be a writer, living in NYC, in a fabulous apartment, meeting men and falling in love, over and over again.
Well, I found the love part and I'm a writer, so I guess two out of four ain’t bad?
I miss that dream.
What would I be doing differently in that version of myself than the one I’m living now?
Currently, I’m writing this on the couch in a pitch black room so that my son doesn’t wake up or get fidgety. Because once he’s up, he’s up.
I’d like to think I’d be in my queen-sized bed in a large studio, inhaling a breeze from the open window that delivers the flavors of the street vendors and 24-hour food places, as I write my bloody little heart out the day before a deadline. Because if one thing is consistent, it’s that I’m a procrastinator in both scenarios.
But that’s all in another life, one that never formed, and one that will never be.
Can I honestly say I regret having my son? Most days, my answer would be yes.

Actions have consequences.
Hey Babe - Don’t think about this life. Imagine the eternity you would have if you aborted your child to live a life of decadence.
I have two children I/we should of had more.
What a hateful shrew. But, she’s an HONEST hateful shrew!
Oh, shallow Hal’ s wife shallow gal?
That poor boy having a mother with that attitude. :(

This idiot narcissistic beyotch grew and matured past that stage. Hopefully she will grow up and realize what a wonderful blessing she has been given with this child.
But she better snap to it fast. Now. This week. Otherwise the child should probably be removed from that home and placed with normal people.
This woman is a child herself in an adult body as far as I’m concerned.
If you live your life fixated on what could have been, you miss the joy of what is....
Another female screwed up by Sex and the City have it all feminist crapfest culture.
Maybe if she were a better writer, she could have earned more money and afforded a nanny to take care of the kid for her.
Too bad she’s such a loser all the way around.
Nice thing for her kid to know.
How does bad writing like this get published?! I have talented writer friends who can’t get published but this piece of crap does? LOL!
The same immature idiot would say the same thing is she didn’t have kids: “Gosh, what would my life be like if I had kids??”
Before I met my husband, I dreamt of a life similar to that of Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City …But not the reality of that life, eh? Wheezing out your last days in a hospital bed at a young age is no desirable outcome.
Her eternity does not depend on if she had an abortion or no. That is entirely dependent on her faith but it is likely that she does not have faith either. This is so sad that a parent would rather not have had a child. It is not too late as she can probably find a loving home for the child and everyone would be better off.
“meeting men and falling in love over and over again”? Really? Is she listening to herself?
Regretting having a child and celebrating aborting them seems to be the new push from the cult of death Left right now.
I don’t know how someone could publicly write this knowing their child may one day read it. What was this self centered creep thinking!
My church reaches out to women like her, giving her a break whenever possible. She’s not alone.
She didn’t ask for an autistic child.
God has blessed my wife and I with four healthy children. I’m not going to pass judgment on this women for airing her frustrations and regrets because I’ve not walked in her shoes.
Yeah, I know that. But with her attitude I doubt redemption and forgiveness is in her future.
